An off-duty Arlington police officer was placed on administrative leave after allegedly being involved in a vehicle crash Thursday.

About 7:45 p.m., officers responded to a call about a car that hit the backyard fence of a residence in the 2900 block of Little Road, in West Arlington. The caller told police that the driver, presumed to be Adam Rozneck, left the site of the crash and was being followed by the homeowner, police said.

Police said after he hit the fence, Rozneck stopped his damaged vehicle a short distance away in the 4800 block of Livingston Drive and was confronted by the homeowner. Officers spoke with Rozneck, his passenger and the homeowner, police said.

Initially, officers had reasonable suspicion to believe that alcohol was involved however after conducting field sobriety testing, it was determined that Rozneck was not intoxicated, said police spokesman Lt. Christopher Cook.

Rozneck is a two-year employee of the department assigned to the patrol division. The department is conducting criminal and administrative investigations into the incident, police said.

The Arlington police officer accused of fatally shooting a man outside a Duncanville restaurant has been placed on administrative leave.

According to the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office, the off-duty officer was getting back to a party bus with 20 guests at the Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen on East Highway 67 when he became involved in an altercation.

The off-duty officer, whose name is not being released yet, is accused of firing a gun at Juan May, 45, of Arlington.

May was transported to Methodist Charlton Medical Center where he died.

The ongoing investigation is being handled by the sheriff’s office. Arlington police said the officer is an 8-year veteran of the department.

Former Arlington police Officer Thomas Kantzos was sentenced Wednesday to one year and one day in federal prison for improperly using a department computer to help tip off his steroid dealer, the U.S. attorney’s office said.

Thomas S. Kantzos, 45, of Fort Worth, had pleaded guilty in October 2013 to exceeding access to a protected computer. U.S. District Judge Barbara Lynn ordered him to surrender to the Bureau of Prisons on April 1.

Kantzos had faced up to five years in prison.

The 17-year veteran of the department was fired after his arrest in June.

Federal authorities also have said Kantzos bought anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs for himself and other officers. They have not identified the officers, and Arlington police have declined to comment, citing the ongoing federal investigation.

Another officer, David Vo, 35, fatally shot himself after his arrest in connection with the case.

A third officer, Craig Hermans, 34, resigned in August while on administrative leave after authorities said he was linked to the probe.

The investigation led to the Arlington Police Department after a person was arrested in January on suspicion of selling anabolic steroids, according to an FBI complaint.

The person, described only as a cooperating witness in the complaint, said he provided steroids and HGH to Kantzos during the last five or six years, including when Kantzos was on duty and driving a marked Arlington police car.

Kantzos, who was a patrol training officer, sometimes collected money from the other officers and other times fronted the money to buy the drugs, the complaint said.

Update at 11 a.m., Nov. 24, by Melissa Repko: The wife of Arlington Assistant Police Chief James Hawthorne said she will not “participate further” in police’s investigation of her husband.

James Hawthorne was arrested Nov. 17 after a domestic disturbance call from his home. Arlington police later released documents saying he had attacked his wife with his “hands, fist and feet.”

In a prepared statement, Stephanie Hawthorne said Arlington police “inappropriately released” statements that “are replete with misrepresentations and inaccuracies.”

“I am deeply concerned by these missteps by the police department as well as others,” she said in the statement. “I have now been placed in the untenable position of not being able to trust that there is not some underlying agenda that will prevent a fair and just outcome to this matter for my husband and for me.”

Stephanie Hawthorne said only two facts in the police statements were “completely accurate” — that she and her husband “have been married for 26 years with no history of family violence and he has had an unblemished 28-year career in law enforcement.”

She asked for privacy for her family and said it would be her final statement about the “painful ordeal.”

Update at 1:40 p.m., Nov. 19, by Tristan Hallman: Hawthorne attacked his wife using his “hands, fist and feet” as weapons, police said in documents released Tuesday by the Arlington Police Department.

That is one of few details that can be gleaned from the documents. The department redacted almost all of the information in its reports, including narratives describing the incident.

In a statement sent out along with the documents, Police Chief Will D. Johnson said the police department is “committed to providing a fair and impartial investigation into these allegations.

“In the interest of maintaining the integrity of the process, it would be inappropriate to comment further on this partial release of information.”

Update, 11:40 a.m., Nov. 17: Arlington police say they are not releasing information on Assistant Police Chief James Hawthorne’s relationship to the victim.

Police spokesman Lt. Christopher Cook said the department was “very deliberate and calculated” in what they stated in Sunday morning’s press release. Cook said requests for information, including the incident report and the victim’s identity, would have to go through the legal department.

“They’re not going to let me release any of that because of the ongoing investigation,” Cook said. “He’s an assistant chief and we have to be really careful what we release on it.”

Cook said Hawthorne was charged with assault and bodily injury, which was classified as family violence due to his relationship to the victim. It is a class A misdemeanor.

Cook did not release details on the bodily injury the victim sustained.

“I know that, but I’m not at liberty to say at this point,” Cook said.

Cook said he doubts the official report will be released because the department is expecting a criminal investigation. He said reports are typically not released during ongoing criminal investigations.

Hawthorne has not returned calls for comment. More information will be posted as it becomes available.

Original, 10:11 a.m., Nov. 17: An Arlington police supervisor was arrested in a family violence dispute at about 1 a.m. Sunday.

Arlington Police officers were dispatched to a domestic disturbance call from the home of Assistant Police Chief James Hawthorne, according to a press release.

Hawthorne was off duty and has been placed on administrative leave until the criminal and administrative investigations are complete.

Hawthorne serves in the Community Support Bureau and has been with the department since 1985.

“I am deeply disappointed that an Arlington assistant police chief was involved in an incident of domestic violence,” Police Chief Will D. Johnson said in the press release. “Regardless of who you are or where you work, domestic violence will not be tolerated or ignored in our community.”

Brent Dickey, a former police officer assigned to a drug task force south of Fort Worth, has been charged in federal court with tipping off his steroids dealer, court records show.

Dickey, who worked for the Alvarado Police Department, is the second former North Texas police officer in recent months to be accused of leaking secret law enforcement information to his steroids dealer to help him avoid arrest.

Dickey, who resigned from the department in 2010, has agreed to plead guilty to the offense, according to federal court records filed on Wednesday. A judge has to approve it before it becomes official. He faces up to three years in prison when he is sentenced.

Dickey was assigned to the to the Johnson County STOP Special Crimes Unit in February 2010 when another task force officer gave him sensitive law enforcement information about a steroids dealer, court records show.

The other investigator didn’t know that the dealer had been supplying Dickey with steroids, court records show.

Dickey admitted in court papers that he went to the suspect’s home and told him about it so he could avoid arrest.

Kantzos is awaiting trial on similar charges.

He is accused of looking up names or license plates on a law enforcement database at the request of his drug supplier, who was concerned that he was being watched by police.

“On several occasions, Kantzos did this, or had someone else do it for him, and then provided the obtained sensitive information to the witness,” authorities said.

In December 2011, Kantzos gave his supplier the name of a law enforcement officer, which led to the supplier finding a tracking device on his vehicle, authorities said.

The supplier then began “laying low” for several weeks and talked with Kantzos about the tracking device and the police surveillance of him, the complaint said.

Kantzos is charged with exceeding authorized access to a protected computer. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Arlington police are investigating a double shooting in a home that left a woman and a man dead this morning.

Arlington police are investigating the death of a 1-year-old boy found unresponsive at an extended stay motel early Friday morning with suspicious bruising.

Authorities were called out to the motel at the 1200 block of West Division Street around 12:30 a.m. Police spokeswoman Tiara Richard said the baby boy was taken to the front office of the motel and paramedics attempted to treat the child.

The boy was transported to Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital where he died.

Richard said detectives are questioning family and others who had contact with the child during his last moments of life. Police are also awaiting an official ruling from the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office.

A man is expected to survive after he was shot during a robbery inside a car Tuesday morning in downtown Arlington, police said.

Investigators said the man was sitting in the driver seat of a car Tuesday morning in the 800 block of S. Mesquite, near the University of Texas at Arlington, when a man came up and got into the backseat. The man in the back then asked the woman in the passenger seat if she wanted to sell a laptop. She declined, leading to an altercation, police said.

Police said the man in the backseat then fired multiple shots inside the car. The victim in the driver’s seat was hit. The shooter fled with the laptop, some phones and possibly money, police said.

The suspect called the victim by his first name, investigators said. Police interviewed the woman, who was taken into custody in connection with a narcotics violation. The man was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital with serious injuries, but is expected to live.

Arlington police are investigating a shooting at Barnett Junior High School early Friday morning that left one man wounded and could have involved at least two others.

According to preliminary information, a man whose identity and age have not been released by police was shot at the school on the 2100 block of E. Sublett Road around 1:15 a.m. and transported to a Fort Worth hospital.

At around the same time the officers responded to the scene, two more victims suffering from gunshot wounds showed up at an Arlington emergency room.

Police are not certain that the two victims were also shot at the school and conditions of the victims were not immediately available. There is no information yet about motives or suspects. The incident remains under investigation.
